so...the oscars.
i didn't get drunk. jana was hopped up on vicodin from her happyfun spring break oral surgery, so none of us partook.
until later.
hold yer horses; "drinking" for me consisted of half a shot of tequila in a can of aranciata soda, followed by a glass of water. we then watched mallrats for the katrillionth time (ok, well, it was lauren's first, actually). i was very tired and got home around, ohhh... 2am. i was falling asleep during the movie, i was so tired. why? no idea.
oh. maybe cos i am a goddamn morning person for reasons i will never understand. CURSES.
but yeah, the oscars were pretty entertaining an' shit. michael moore winning best documentary and doing exactly what you'd expect of michael moore in the span of his possibly-less-than-the-alotted-45 second acceptance speech was absolutely worth it. adrian brody winning, which is cool in and of itself, and kissing halle berry--heh! nicole kidman rocks for winning and kicking even more ass after leaving fuckin' tom cruise.
people are quite quick to judge the ceremonies. they're stupid holywood crap, but that doesn't make them any less entertaining, especially when you're hunting for subtle digs at the government from people you know in your bitter, conspiracy-theorizing heart have been silenced by the network and the academy for their outspoken anti-war views. we were all cheering for barbra streisand to just say fuck it and spout her opinion, cos she's fucking barbra streisand and doesn't give a rip about anyone...but she didn't. oh well. maybe would've given us some undeserved respect for the almighty babs. we are safe to return to hating her.
i am presently starving to death and have zero idea what to say has been up the past few days.
thursday, kevin and i went to discovery park for the first time. it was pretty interesting. we got mud all over our shoes and the bottoms of our pantlegs climbing all over a cliff and a hill where you can see the olympics across the sound really nicely. i think we shall have to return again sometime when the weather is better.
we checked out vegfest at the seattle center, which wasn't that, well, festive. we did watch the author of the one cookbook he owns prepare some vegan sandwich filling and a soup that was pretty tasty. the vegetarians of washington were pretty keen for new members, too, as they announced the prize package for joining up every five freaking minutes. it was like a live-action pbs fund drive.
then we ate at the bamboo garden, a nearby vegetarian chinese restaurant. it was quite tasty. we shared the seaweed and bean curd soup and a dish that i don't remember the name of, but it was fake chicken stir-fried with bean sprouts, three kinds of mushrooms, and some other stuff and served over crispy fried bean threads. i want to try their meatless seafood sometime. the soup was probably the best thing, though it was all good.
huh. that was saturday...and today was sunday. er. yesterday. and yesterday i came home around 4 and had to go to the store and then eat and chris and jana came over and we watched the oscars. so. that's about full circle.
today i might go to some anti-war arts student group meeting. tomorrow kevin and i are heading to olympia for some happyfun times with my mom and my best friend becky. thursday we're going camping somewhere to be determined. we'll be back by saturday, and school starts monday. rah.
oh, and my reporting prof gave me a *good* grade on the ave project that i totally botched. what. the. hell. !!?? confusion reigns.
must eat something. and caffeine.
